• 52nd Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC 2021)
  2021-03-15 to 2021-03-19, Online


• VAAM conference 2021
  2021-03-18 to 2021-03-19, Online
  
  Be part of the first annual digital VAAM conference, which will be held with the motto "Best of VAAM"!
  
  The conference will start with a highlight session, with a keynote lecture followed by the presentation of the VAAM awards. The symposia of the VAAM specialist groups form the core of the digital conference. The conference will conclude with a general meeting on the afternoon of 19 March.
  
  The Space Microbiology Group will organize a 2-hour symposium entitled: "Enabling spaceflight - how applied space microbiology and bio-/nanotechnology contribute?"
  
  Unfortunately, there will be no poster presentations. However, in addition to an invited keynote speaker, we would like to give young scientists the opportunity to present their work. Digital time opens up completely new possibilities: we will select 6-8 research papers to be presented at the VAAM meeting in an approx. 8-minute video contribution (+ 2 minutes of questions and answers). This gives the PhD students the greatest possible creative freedom to present their project in a (pre-recorded) video format.
  
  We would therefore like to invite all interested young researchers to send a short abstract (150 words) to the head of the section Prof. Dr. Ralf Möller by January 25th, 2021 (ralf.moeller (at) dlr.de). The contributions for the symposium will be selected from these submissions and the authors will be informed accordingly so that there is sufficient time to prepare the video.
  
  Please pass this information on to your doctoral students.
  
  We are very much looking forward to exciting topics and suggestions for this new video format.
  
  With best regards,
  Ralf Möller, Elisabeth Grohmann ∧ Kristina Beblo-Vranesevic
